Vehicle multi switch failed, causing stock foglights to short, in turn, draining the battery while vehicle was idle and turned off.
High beam headlamps went off while driving at night. This occurred last oct. 2009. I replaced multi-function switch. Then last week oct. 3, 2010 same thing occurred. Almost got hit by another car while stopping without headlamps. I cannot see why Chrysler will not be held responsible for faulty switch. I will not drive at night until Chrysler comes up with a fix for its poor switch design.
